I’m in the process of ordering my third set of bird be safe collars. They break away safely so that my cat doesn’t get hurt and they keep the birds safe as well. As soon as my cat loses its collar, I end up having to rescue birds from him, or cleaning up bird parts in my house!

Siberian cat Numi sadly specialized in catching bats from the roof terrace. I tried a collar with a bell and was very happy that it worked well. Bats are masters in recieving sounds, obviously any sounds.
But then she changed prey and brought careless sparrows. That's why I bought the birds be safe collar. She does not love it, but she accepts it. But I missed the fact with the "long hair style" - at the moment, there is only one article available for long haired cats. So the careless sparrows will need good eyes. As especially the forest cat breeds... Maine Coon, Norwegian and Siberian... are known as "hunting machines", birds would be safer with more collars for the fluffy kitties!

K will pounce when she hears an outside door opening, and rush out. We know our beautiful Irish Birds ( Tits, Goldfinches, Robins, Wrens, Starlings etal) are Safe.

Birdbesafe collars do cut way down on bird deaths. Our 2 cats are allowed out in daylight only and both were rescued semi-ferals. They have worn Birdbesafe collars for years. You have to check the collars regularly so that they don''t get lost. Recently someone put a lost one in our mailbox.

Pepper is a recent addition to the family home. We think cats should be able to enjoy the outdoors but they need help being good neighbors sometimes. After 3 bird kills within a few weeks of each other, we knew we needed some support. We found Birds Be Safe in an internet search. Pepper now sports the colorful puzzle edition. It is comfortable for her and after almost 2 months of wearing it, no more birds have met their untimely demise. Easy to wash, easy to see with the reflective trim. Pepper is happy. We are happy. Birds are happy. Win-win-win. :)
Highly recommend! And please consider adding a small donation to your order. I did out of respect for the feathered friends that Pepper was not very friendly with.

I can’t definitively swear that it works. But I haven’t seen any new evidence of bird kills. After she killed three Lesser Goldens in one day, I had to do something or I was going to do something drastic.
I take the collar off at night and, after removing accumulated hair every morning from the fabric, put it back on her before she can go outside. After crooning, and praising her for wearing it for a couple days, she now submits to my putting it on her. After making sure the length of the break away collar is flat, not twisted inside the fabric, I approach from behind and below her eyes. The break away collar is hard to snap together, but it seems to work the way it was designed .

Thank you from our cat Eliash! Greetings from Poland!

When I purchased this collar, my male cat was bringing a minimum of a bird a day into the house (mostly finches). He has worn the collar for 3 weeks now and has brought a hummingbird in the house (which I was able to rescue and put back outside.).

The collar is great! Here is our cat Poppi.
